Graduate Student Digest

This week is Graduate Student Appreciation Week!

The Graduate School will have a table at the Graduate Student Symposium Wednesday, April 4^th from 2:30-4 in the Goshen Lounge to thank our Graduate Students!   Not only will the outstanding achievements of SIUE graduate students be featured in the Symposium, but we will also be showing comments and pictures from faculty/staff about the amazing graduate students they get to work with! These comments will also be posted on the graduate school twitter account starting Monday, April 2^nd.  Click HERE to read the comments submitted by faculty and staff at SIUE.  

ADDITIONALLY, there will be a drawing for a FREE GREEN PARKING PASS for the 2018-2019 academic year! (must be a currently enrolled graduate student to enter)  Students must be present to enter the drawing at the Symposium. A winner will be announced Thursday, April 5. 

REMINDER: Graduate Assistants should not start working until their contract has been fully executed and they receive a notification from the graduate school. You will receive a confirmation email once your contract is processed. Any GA that starts working before this confirmation email is in violation of the Graduate School policy and may be at risk of reduced pay.

Former Graduate Assistants eligible to receive a summer tuition waiver (read policy 4F1 to determine eligibility) must submit the summer tuition waiver form.  Please submit the form at least 2 weeks before your summer courses begin. Earned summer tuition waivers will not be processed until you are registered for classes. Once the waiver is processed, you should be able to see it via CougarNET.

Please remember that this tuition waiver is not automatically applied. All qualifying students wishing to utilize it must submit the form, available on the graduate assistant forms page, to the Graduate School.
